The Story Behind This Photo - Persistent Street Performers in Cartegena, Colombia

I work on a cruise ship that travels to many beautiful parts of the world. I have had a opportunity to visit Cartegena, Colombia a few times. It is a beautiful city with lots of beautiful art everywhere and they also have a lot of street performers. I was waiting for the shuttle to go back to the ship and these gentleman were performing for everyone that was waiting in line. Everyone in line was under a shelter to keep us from standing in the very hot sun for a long time. While we were enjoying these guys' incredible acrobatic skills it started to rain very heavily. Everyone in line was protected from the heavy downpour but the performers were getting drenched. We thought that would be the end of the show. Nope. They kept on performing as if there was no rain. We were amazed because they were doing some incredible stunts and it would have been so easy to slip and fall with the street being so wet. They were persistent and kept the show going and the crowd was really loving it. Thankfully, no one was injured.
I am not allowed to sell prints of this photo because I did not get a model release from the performers. If you would like to see other photos of mine that I have for sale please visit DavidMoreheadPhotography.com.
